visual studio .net general: New install of of Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Architects, no
other versions of VS have ever been loaded.

File --> New Project --> C# Windows Application.
Select solution name.

Solution is created and opened. This message immediately appears in
Form1.cs [Design] window:

The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes
within it can be designed.

System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.BasicDesignerLoader.BeginLoad(IDesignerLoaderHost host)

This happens with any new Windows Forms App I create. I have not added any
code.

You'd better check your install log. It sounds like something didn't make it
into the installation. You may need to repair or re-install the software.

Show me your certification without works,
and I'll show my certification

What exactly am I looking for in the install logs? There's quite a lot of
info in there, and I certainly found nothing along the lines of "Designing
Feature broken. User won't be able to make new Windows Forms applications".

Thanks.
